(Some older cards - use an external PHY.) The MAC supports TCP/IP hardware checksums (IPv4 - only), TCP large send, VLAN tag insertion and stripping, as well as VLAN - filtering, a 64-entry CAM filter and a 64-entry VLAN filter, 64-bit - multicast hash filter, 4 separate transmit DMA queues, flow control and - jumbo frames up to 16K in size. The VT6122 has a 16K receive FIFO and 48K - transmit FIFO.</p> -<p class="Pp">The <code class="Nm">vge</code> driver takes advantage of the - VT6122's checksum offload and VLAN tagging features, as well as the jumbo - frame and CAM filter support. The CAM filter is used for multicast address - filtering to provide 64 perfect multicast address filter support. If it is - necessary for the interface to join more than 64 multicast groups, the - driver will switch over to using the hash filter.</p> -<p class="Pp">The jumbo frame support can be enabled by setting the interface - MTU to any value larger than the default of 1500 bytes, up to a maximum of - 9000 bytes. The receive and transmit checksum offload support can be toggled - on and off using the <a class="Xr">ifconfig(8)</a> utility.</p> -<p class="Pp">The <code class="Nm">vge</code> driver supports the following - media types:</p> -<dl class="Bl-tag"> - <dt id="autoselect"><a class="permalink" href="#autoselect"><code class="Cm">autoselect</code></a></dt> - <dd>Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
